Australia - The Beginning

I'm heading down to Perth, Western Australia for a chance to live and work outside of the U.S. again.  Oh yeah, and they basically created my dream job for me.  

"So, how did a young woman stuck in an Indiana cornfield find a job in the most isolated city in the world?" you might ask.  Good question. 

This all came about through a series of great coincidence, if you want to call it that.  I met the right person at the right place and time (this would be my friend Mark, whom I met at an Apple conference in San Francisco last year).  After I finished my Master's degree last December, he helped me polish my CV and sent it up the ladder at a school called Scotch College in Perth.  Although the battle for my working visa was tedious, everything else came easily and smoothly.  

A few short months after submitting my CV, I have arrived in Perth and am ready to begin my next great adventure!

Thanks, Anthony! I'm sorry we didn't get to see each other before I left. :( I didn't get to see my pillow much before I left, if it's any consolation. I'm hoping to get a flight through Japan on one of my trips to/from the States... hopefully we can catch up soon!
